Mr Drew has arrived safely in sunny California, where he's visiting me to work on material for the next album, and catch up on band business. Here's a pic of us yesterday visiting the G&L guitar factory in Fullerton LA where we were given a personal tour by Dave McLaren and Steve Grom. I've been playing G &L basses for quite some time now and always sing their praises in interviews. In fact we gave away a G&L bass as a prize in Germany for our support band competition.
We hung out in Leo Fender's original office where many of his personal effects, plans, photos and prototypes still remain.
In fact his spirit still lives on there, and employees have reported several eerie goings on! It's easy to imagine why when he designed guitars with such passion, he'd only just finished an early baritone the day he passed away.Notice in the last photo the snap of Leo presenting some extremely happy girls with a shiny pink guitar :D I know that feeling
